Post chip in new car - advice

I was wiping my car down yesterday to remove all the road salt from the last storm when I found a chip right on the front portion of the hood. It's noticable to me at least. Heard several memebers mention a product called Langka a while back. Just wondering if anyone has used it or something similar to repair these annoyances. Seems pretty easy to use from the website but I'm not sure how long it would last. Any comments/experiences using this stuff?

Do not use or get Langka! I have heard numerous folks who have used it and was very disappointed. Just a FYI.....

Thanks for the info guys. Any reason they were dissatisfied? What else could I use? My last resort would be to take the car somewheres to have it done but it seems that this would cost alot especially since chips in the paint happen quite often.

I'm thinking a dab of clear coat or touch up paint. It wont look like new but it will keep water from getting under the paint and chipping more away.
